SUMMARY:June 2026 Concert
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by a trip to Rome\, Tchaikovsky’s Capriccio Italien brings us a colourful feast of Italian folk music\, whirling tarantellas and carnival scenes.  We are delighted to welcome Fenella Humphreys as our soloist for Max Bruch’s ever-popular Violin Concerto\, full of gorgeous melodies.  Arguably the greatest symphonist of the 20th century\, Shostakovich wrote his Tenth Symphony immediately after the death of Josef Stalin.  Movingly depicting the terror and tragedy of the Stalin years\, the symphony ends with the assertion of the individual’s triumph over a dehumanizing regime. \nFenella Humphreys\, winner of both the 2025 and 2023 BBC Music Magazine Premiere Recording Award\, has attracted critical admiration and audience acclaim with the grace and intensity of her remarkable performances. With her playing described in the press as “alluring”\, “unforgettable” and “a wonder”\, Fenella is one of the UK’s most established and versatile violinists\, having also won the 2018 BBC Music Magazine Instrumental Award. She enjoys a busy career combining chamber music with solo work\, performing in the most prestigious venues around the world and is frequently broadcast on the BBC\, Classic FM\, Scala Radio and international radio stations. \nFenella performs widely as a soloist. Her recent album of Sibelius’ solo works with BBC National Orchestra of Wales and George Vass has been featured in BBC Radio 3’s Building a Library\, Gramophone Magazine’s Guide to the Concerto\, and was Album of the Week on Scala Radio. BBC Music Magazine has written of the recording: “it takes an unusually fine artist to be able to bridge the two extremes. Fenella Humphreys’s playing is a genuine revelation in the way it brings out the music’s dark and introspective qualities\, with no shortage of technical panache meanwhile.” \nFenella has given the first performances of scores by a vast range of composers\, most notably Sir Peter Maxwell Davies\, Sally Beamish\, Gordon Crosse\, Cheryl Frances-Hoad\, Freya Waley-Cohen and Adrian Sutton. In June 2023\, Fenella premiered a new violin concerto\, dedicated to her by Adrian Sutton\, at the Queen Elizabeth Hall\, London\, with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Fenella subsequently recorded the work\, with the BBC Philharmonic and Michael Seal\, for Chandos Records\, with The Strad noting upon its release “Humphreys brings to her endlessly unfurling violin lines a taut\, silvery weightlessness. The recording beautifully captures her duets with woodwind\, and a tremendous dynamic range…” The disc went on to win the 2025 BBC Music Magazine Premiere Recording Award. \nFenella’s latest recording on Rubicon Classics\, Prism\, revisits the medium of unaccompanied violin repertoire – from new music written by young British composers to iconic recent works by Caroline Shaw\, Jessie Montgomery and George Walker\, with Fenella’s new arrangement of Bach’s Toccata and Fugue BWV565 at its heart. Immediately picked up by BBC Music Magazine as their June ‘Instrumental Choice’\, the album is described as “a hugely accomplished release\, fearlessly and vibrantly performed…” (BBC Music Magazine). \nThroughout the 2025/26 season\, Fenella will be resident at Wigmore Hall as part of a three-concert series where she will explore a variety of solo and chamber violin repertoire. \nFor the launch of Apple Music Classical in April 2023\, Fenella was one of a handful of artists invited to record a ‘Classical Session’ at home\, alongside Daniel Barenboim\, Beatrice Rana and Gautier Capuçon. \nFenella is grateful for the support of the Royal Philharmonic Society\, Harriet’s Trust and Arts Council England for their support to keep making music during the Covid Pandemic. Fenella plays on a G.B. Guadagnini violin kindly on loan from Jonathan Sparey. \nFor further information\, please visit www.fenellahumphreys.com
